Oluwakemi Elizabeth Otubanjo-Adekoya was born in Surulere, Lagos, Nigeria on Novembery 23, 1964, to the notable Otubanjo family. Her father, Fasasi Otubanjo, was a successful hotelier who owned Famous Hotel, and her mother, Mudiratu Otubanjo was a successful fashion designer who owned a fashion business and training school. Oluwakemi was born into a privileged family, and she was the first female child. She gained her entrepreneurial drive from both of her parents who she lost at a very early age in life. Having lost her mother at age 6 and her father at age 17, Kemi never allowed her circumstances to affect her outlook on life. Instead, she became an empathetic, energetic, focused, and self-driven individual. With the strength she drew from this unpleasant experience, she became one of many God’s angels on earth. She attended Muslim College Ijebu Ode for her high school, and she was the captain of her basketball team and she won many laurels for her school and Ogun State. She attended the prestigious University of Lagos Nigeria and graduated in 1991 with a degree in Guidance and Counseling. She worked as a teacher at Birch Freeman High School and was also a wholesale rice trader at the popular Daleko Market in Lagos. She migrated to the USA in 1998 and married Oluwatosin Adekoya, a pharmacist, a professional colleague, and a friend to her brother, Hakeem Otubanjo. Kemi started life in the USA from a humble beginning as a nursing assistant after a brief training at Red Cross. As a self-driven, focused individual, Kemi continued her nursing career by attending Harrison College (Washington, D.C.) for her LPN on a full scholarship which she earned through her academic excellence. She went further in her career growth by attending Radians College (Washington, D.C.) where she became an RN followed by a BSN at Stevenson University. Kemi was completing the Nurse Practitioner program at Walden University at the time of her passing. Earlier in her nursing career, she worked at the Jewish Convalescent Home, Northwest Hospital, and FutureCare as a nurse and nurse supervisor. At every place she worked, she was loved by everyone who embraced knowledge and hard work. Doing well and helping others fulfill their dreams was like second nature to Kemi. No matter how tired or occupied, she always had the enthusiasm to go far and beyond to uplift fellow human beings. She would use her connections and her talents to network and get new arrivals into the country on sound footing in a new environment. She was an icon of love, patience, benevolence, and kindness in the Adekoya and Otubanjo families and among her friends. Kemi was truly a rare breed, a devoted wife, and a loving mother who successfully groomed all of her children to be top class professionals and a student leader. Her passion for excellence and service was a springboard for starting Dynamic Health System Inc., a Psychiatric Rehabilitation Program, in 2017. The business has remained successful and her legacy will continue forever. Her commitment to excellence within her business has been truly dynamic and sustained in everyday affairs. She left a legacy of love, hard work, professionalism, and an unparalleled commitment to greatness. She was many things to many people. She was a devoted wife, a caring mother, mentor, trusted friend, peacemaker, advisor, and a Godly woman. It is said that “The legacy we leave behind are the lives we have touched.” Oluwakemi touched many lives and left a legacy that will endure forever. May the Lord accept Oluwakemi into His bosom. She will be sorely missed and remembered for her many good deeds. The angels of God have opened their arms to receive an additional angel into their midst, and what we count as a loss, heaven sees as a gain. She is survived by her husband, Oluwatosin, her children, Eminajulo, Fisayo, Olayinka, and Adeola, her grandchildren, Olurotimi, Zane, and Adetola, and her brothers, sisters, uncles, aunts, nieces, nephews, and in-laws. Rest in perfect peace Oluwakemi Elizabeth Otubanjo-Adekoya, Omó Asénperi.
